If you need some hairy male nipples to show off then let me know, I’ll contribute to the cause 😂

I was wondering but I guess I don’t understand why say it that way instead of the other way around.

Why ban male nipples? Fuck that all nipples should be allowed.

Is the behavior of one of the biggest tech companies in the world not relevant to technology? That seems a strange view to me.

Pirating isn’t stealing but yes the collective works of humanity should belong to humanity, not some slimy cabal of venture capitalists.

Almost everyone.

But why?

Did you read the abstract? This doesn’t seem to be what they’re saying at all.

First good thing Musk has ever done?

I’ve often wondered what the implications of the internet will be for future historians. On the one hand, there is now an enormous body of writings from not just the educated elite as in the past but from all sorts of ordinary people, which is something that has never really existed before.

On the other hand, how and for how long will these writings be retained? If we stop writing things on paper, will these digital writings become completely inaccessible at some point? Could we have a situation where there are almost no writings from a certain period down the road? That would be unfortunate.

I could see that being an improvement, although it’s not terribly different from the current system. It might be clearer for the public to understand.

On the other hand, reps would have to explain to their constituents why they voted for the kicking puppies act which people might have trouble grasping.

I think it’s a good method for achieving compromise. If the various factions perceive more benefit than cost, the bill passes. Obviously some bad things get snuck in, but you get good things out of it as well.

Even if your personal calculus is that this bill does more harm then good, I don’t think banning this method is a good idea.

There is certainly a level of disfunction that it can’t overcome and we may have reached that.

Well I don’t know which state you mean but a lot of them are not divided the way then federal government is.

Because it’s the only way to get things done in a divided government?

I have read lots of history but I take your meaning.

Perhaps a better phrasing would be: there is no ethically sound reason to pursue this as an end goal.

I don’t really understand why that would be an objective for anyone.

What would the purpose of this even be?

China dipping their toes in some CIA shit. Ominous.
